china is not going to replace the united states, for canada, and i certainly hope that nobody is imagining that they will.

however, the reality is that moving in lockstep with the americans on auto manufacturing at the expense of farming isn't helpful. and they don't want our dirty oil.

the chinese have taken the idea of electric cars seriously because they wanted to skip a step. now, as a socialist, i know that this skipping steps bullshit is a bad idea. but the focus has jumped them out ahead of the united states on a key technology that's going to define the upcoming decades and centuries.

right now, it's still a small market in canada. 

we want them to make the cars here.
